Experience Cape York the Way Locals See It
Cape York is one of Australia’s most rugged and culturally rich destinations—and choosing the right tour operator makes all the difference.
Our guests don’t just see Cape York—they connect with it.
Far North Escapes is the only operator offering two rich Indigenous experiences across our Cape York tour range.
Learn from Kuku Yalanji Traditional Owners as they share stories, language, bush tucker, and cultural teachings of their Country.
Meet Torres Strait Islander hosts who share history, art, music, stories, and traditions unique to the northernmost communities of Australia.
A meaningful cultural site, rarely visited by tourists, offering insight into Torres Strait and local community traditions.
A stunning private island in the Torres Strait—lush, vibrant, and rich in local history.
Guests enjoy access to Roko Island on multiple tours, with opportunities to relax, explore, and experience this tropical paradise firsthand.
Roko Island is included in our longer itineraries and is one of the key features that sets Far North Escapes apart from mainstream Cape York operators.
Far North Escapes is one of the only Cape York tour companies offering optional fishing charters directly from Roko Island.
Guests can choose their experience to enjoy:
It’s an unforgettable add-on for travellers wanting the full Torres Strait adventure.

A master of remote 4WD routes, terrain changes, water crossings, and bush knowledge.
A storyteller, cultural connector, and highly experienced northern guide with unmatched knowledge of Cape York communities.
